Smart Home Integration (SIMPLEconnect®)

Reversible Motor Function (WhisperWind®)
The fan is equipped with a WhisperWind® reversible motor, allowing you to change the direction of the fan blades for optimal performance in both summer and winter. In summer, the fan should rotate counter-clockwise to create a downdraft that cools the room. In winter, it should rotate clockwise at a low speed to create an updraft that circulates warm air trapped near the ceiling.
To reverse the blade direction, locate the reverse switch on the motor housing (typically above the light kit) and slide it to the opposite position. Ensure the fan is completely stopped before changing the direction.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Ananova ceiling fan.
Cleaning
- Always turn off the power to the fan at the circuit breaker before cleaning.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe down the fan blades and motor housing. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- For the glass light shades, remove them carefully and wash with mild soap and water. Dry thoroughly before reattaching.
Light Fixtures: The clear glass shades can be removed for cleaning or bulb replacement.
Motor Housing: Wipe the motor housing gently to remove dust and maintain its appearance.
Bulb Replacement
The Ananova fan uses 3 LED bulbs. When replacing bulbs, ensure the power is off. Use bulbs of the same type and wattage (60 watts max per socket, 3000 Kelvin color temperature) to maintain optimal performance and light quality.
